    Why won't the NHS tell you the secret to treating diabetes?

    What are these numbers? What do they relate to, as they are not Hba1c or blood glucose levels. Hba1c of 11.1 is certainly not the beginning of a...

    Type 2 Can’t stop eating sweet stuff

    Like rice, pasta, root veg, fruit, flour, potatoes? Or table sugar? None of which contain fat. What do you mean by a carb food which is...

    Type 2 Can’t stop eating sweet stuff

    No. Low carb is not predominantly fats. Low carb is 130g or less a day of carbs, some fats like full fat milk, butter etc and protein. I do not...

    plant base

    Comparing a standard diabetes diet to a vegan diet is not the same as comparing a low carb diet with a vegan diet. I am pro choice, btw.
